Disney Magical World

[LyraVale]

lol. I'm at level 89 and I have a bad feeling I'm pretty maxed out. I can not pass the 2nd ball at all.

The thing with the balls that really messed me up, is that for the LONGEST time, I didn't realize you could quit in the middle and restart. So I'd go all the way through the whole episode, even if I messed up, halfheartedly. I felt so dumb once I realized I could restart in the middle as many times as I needed...that way, I would go through and learn each little section first, then put it all together a few times to beat the ball. IDK if that helps you at all, but it really helped me to break it down, and almost choreograph it in my mind.

Another thing that helps is if you keep time by tapping. If it's not a place where you need to be tapping, it doesn't hold it against you, and a lot of times if you're on the right beat, you get lucky.

The last 10-20 stickers though do get really hard. Beating them is the fun...and now that I'm done with that, I'm having a bit of a difficult time living my "magical life". So I guess I'd say enjoy the torment of the tougher challenges lol.

I got my nephew to win the first one which helped to open the final chapters. Tried to get him to do more but he passed.
So I tried again and not sure how it happened but I passed. The stars light up too fast and I think I was spamming them and got lucky. Also found out you can get a lot of special points at the end. Touch the middle and going in a circle real fast.

I'm at 99 stickers and need Pete to show up. Finally found out the Honey Amber Bubble comes from the waterfall. So I now have the Carrot Costume. While I'm gardening I go over to the waterfall and check it before crossing the bridge. Noticed when your on the other side you have to sit to see what there.

Thank you sitchmaker! I have been fishing for the honey amber to no avail so it's to the waterfall for me! I want that carrot costume! LyraVale thank you so much for the dance suffestions (lmao) I think I just tiredly combined suffering and suggestions. I need to pass the ball before Fantasy Life comes out.lol

I actually want to get this game....

But it doesn't have Oswald in it....nooo.

 

[Eline]

I never heard of it, so i looked it up. I think I need this game omggggggg

 

[mags]

I think I'm going to get this game before the year is out.

Then maybe you'd like Epic Mickey Power of Illusion? I thought it was dumb when I tried the demo, and I still got sucked in somehow and bought it. XD It's fun in a really dumb way that I can't explain. Anyway it was only about $12 on Amazon...

 

[Lovelylexi]

I'm really considering getting this game. I love Disney and it looks fun. Would you guys recommend it?

What took so long for them to bring it to the EU? It's been almost a year since JP & NA got it

I'm guessing that one) they didn't know if it would be a success in NA, and two) they have to translate the game into different languages (such as German and French)? But yeah, like I've said before; the timing could be a lot better. It's between Fantasy Life and the new Pok?mon and I believe that's going to hurt sales. That and the fact that you don't have any real multi-player in Disney Magical World, which is something that Fantasy Life does have.

I HIGHLY recommend it though. Unless you've got Fantasy Life or something else that takes up a ton of time too.

Yeah, which is exactly why I canceled my pre-order. Well, two reasons, actually. The second reason is that it seems too familiar to Fantasy Life for me right now. NA got this game quite some time ago so it's not exactly "new" anymore. For EU, however, it comes shortly after Fantasy Life and could be something of a "more of the same thing". The games have their differences, of course, but still.

I'm sure I'll buy this game at some point, though. Just not soon, but somewhere probably in 2015 (which is not that far away when you think about it, haha).

 

[stitchmaker]

Yes I would recommend it. I was late to the game because I thought it was a young person game.
Most of my time is spent playing ACNL and later I get to DMW. It's a nice change from ACNL. Nothing closes in DMW so you can play when you have time and miss abunch of days if you need to. The only time you might need to play is during the holidays.
Instead of a short holiday like ACNL it last along time. Enough to get all the items together for the holidays.

A lot of things I seen in DMW should be added to the next ACNL game. Wish they had saved favorite sets of clothing in ACNL.

Question for those with this game and Super Smash Bros: Which one do you like better? Magical World comes out really soon in my area and I can't decide if I should buy it or SSB. I'm too poor to get both for the moment.

Everyone I've spoken to has been loving Smash Bros but I'm a huge fan of Disney so it's a very hard decision.

 

[Libra]

The price on Amazon France for this game is ridiculous. First it was over 40 EUR, then it went down a few times to 33.99 EUR and now it's up again to 42 EUR (plus 4 EUR for shipping, seems it's no longer in stock on Amazon itself)? What the heck? The game is only out two days so why did the price go up that much (did Amazon really have such a small stock?)?

There aren't any reviews yet so no idea what people think so far about the game. I'll keep an eye on it, though, because I'm curious.

I hope it's not too late to answer this. I wasn't going to because to be fair I've only tried the SSB demo. But if that's anything to go by, I wasn't too into it, and I loved playing DMW. They aren't similar at all, imo, so I don't see why you couldn't get both if you want/can. Except, since money is an issue, I would suggest watching LP's of each, at least a little of each, so you can see which one appeals to you the most right now. I do that almost always, because I don't have loads of money to spend on games either.

Have you looked at the NA reviews on Amazon? I know I can go in the amazon.co.uk or whatever and read reviews still, so you should be able to access the US version of the site too, right? Sorry if this was a "no, **** Sherlock" suggestion, lol...I was trying to help.

Not too late because I realised I had forgotten that I still needed to do my tax return and that gave me an extra $50 so I ended up being able to afford both. I'm glad I got Smash Bros because a lot of my real life friends have it so it's nice being able to talk to them about it and play with people I actually know but I think I prefer Magical World. I've had it less than a day and I'm already addicted. It also fits in nice with the long hours of study I'm doing because it's the kind of game I can just pick it up for half an hour when I need a break. But yeah, I agree they're not similar at all but both good games.

To anyone on the fence about Magical World, I say get it, especially if you are a fan of games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon and a huge Disney fan like I am.

I think everyone that has tried DMW, at least everyone on this thread, has said they would recommend getting it. I haven't actually heard any bad things about it. It actually made me want to try Harvest Moon too. But I'm waiting for Story of Seasons. Although A New Beginning looks good too...I've never played HM, so I'd be happy to try either one.

BTW, I agree, DMW is good for if you have to study or something. Once you get your cafe going, or plant some stuff in the garden, you can go study some, and then by the time you come back, you can collect your money, and do some harvesting of ingredients. Hehe, it'll give you something to look forward to, I think. Anyway, hope you have fun!

Ah, no, sorry, that wasn't what I meant.

I was referring to the price on Amazon France and how no one had reviewed the game yet. I should have been clearer about that, my apologies.

I wasn't sure if Amazon had a small stock or if the game was more popular than they had thought it would be. I just checked and the price is back to 33.99 EUR and there is one review now; it's a three stars one saying the game isn't for small children because there's lots of reading to do and such.

I'll probably buy this game one day but given how busy I am with Fantasy Life, it won't be soon. That's okay; it'll give me something to look forward to in 2015.

It's funny, but I'm the exact opposite of you right now, because I want Fantasy Life, but don't have time for it. We're gonna switch places in a few months, and then we can help each other when we get stuck on something with our new games! lol

My 6 year old sister had the game, but she hasn't got hooked on it yet. Any suggestions for her? Is this a good game for a 6 year old?

I'm trying to imagine myself as a 6 year old, and I don't think I would have been super into it after the initial awe of seeing Disney characters wore off. It's a lot of running around, gathering ingredients, remembering who asked you for what, reading requests and fulfilling them, etc. I think it's too much for a kid...but depends on the kid.

 

[RosieThePeppyCat]

Well, she's generally pretty smart. She's addicted to ACNL and especially Tomodachi Life. And she's also learning how to read.
